" A friend recommended this place, and I couldn't have been happier! The authenticity of the dishes is comforting and reminds me of home. I tried the chicken gizzards and was pleasantly surprised by their texture. The meat skewers are extremely well-seasoned and grilled to perfection! The staff was friendly and offered great suggestions. If you’re looking for a late-night food adventure, this is the spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Friendship BBQ for dinner last week, and I was impressed with the service and presentation of the food. The skewers were flavorful, but some items I tried were overcooked. For example, the fried chicken skeleton pieces were quite good for a novelty item but not something I'd order again. The atmosphere is nice for a casual dinner with friends, and I'll definitely come back to try new dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Friendship BBQ was quite mixed. The skewers were delicious, especially the chicken and lamb. However, the lamb kidney was overcooked, and the wontons were somewhat bland. The service was friendly, but occasionally a bit slow during peak hours. The atmosphere was nice, but it felt a little cramped when it was crowded. Overall, I think they have potential but could use improvements in food consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Friendship BBQ when I was craving late-night food and I am glad I did! The skewers are well-cooked and loaded with flavor. I particularly recommend the grilled fish - it was a standout! However, I did notice that some items were a bit pricey for the portion size. Despite that, the friendly staff and nice environment made up for it. I’ll be returning soon for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm disappointed with my experience here. Although the atmosphere was charming, the food fell flat for me. I tried the beef skewers but found them dry and lacking flavor. Service was adequate, but given the high praise in other reviews, I might have expected something more. Maybe I caught them on an off night? " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Friendship BBQ, and it was delightful! The attention to detail in the marination of the skewers was commendable. Everything from the skewers to the sauces complemented each other beautifully. The staff was really attentive, ensuring that our experience was top-notch. It’s a great place for a fun night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Friendship BBQ is definitely a hidden gem. The skewers are well-seasoned and the variety is top-notch. I loved their lamb skewers which were marinated to perfection! The service was welcoming, and the lively atmosphere adds to the whole experience—perfect for groups of friends wanting to enjoy a late-night feast. " (*Curated Review*)
